He starts the video of a clip of mike saying "It was pretty much all James, I just helped" But as the clips continue, pulled from random streams through the years, Mike basically MADE Avgn dude. HE got the footage, he had the ideas, James took Mikes rage and made it a character. Mike acted in them, wrote for them, played for them. @@tkmaz207

    What a fun, simple, and effective parody of The Exorcist. The Elderly Nerd eating Nerds candy, the shelf confessional, the stark lighting, and the face effects on the Dr. Jekyll cartridge are just some of the standout decisions that made this really enjoyable. I also liked how patient, wise, and driven the Elderly Nerd was, it made him feel like an entirely different character which was a much better choice to go with. The power of Nintendo compels you!

    James, this is one of your best episodes. It's been great seeing the Nerd purge demons. Taking on LJN, Superman 64, and now Jekyll and Hyde these episodes are gold.

    Wow. Thank you so much. It was weird before, all I could see were titles and no names under them. It must be ghosts.
